K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril Filers 2013 K1

Today I checked my case status on USCIS website and what i see? 

On July 23, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).

 

YAY! My case was transfered from Vermont to Texas together with many of you earlier this month.

Good luck to all of you! :)

Yea ur right I do call alot because every time I call I get a different answer that's why I keep calling I heard that we need to wait till June 23 till they start reviewing the new forums that's what's driving me crazy



This makes me sad!
Guess my July interview hopes are out the window!
(Hopefully they're just saying that to stop us calling haha)

I agree. I don't think USCIS would give a hoot!
NVC just need to figure it out. Quickly. Or they're gonna get a serious back up problem.

Let us know what they say! Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah that's true, USCIS are buggers too then!

I wasn't trying to say I was the only person experiencing this, I was just airing my frustrations to people going through the same thing.
There's nothing I can do expect give them their time. Just hope it doesn't take longer than 20 days. The guy I spoke to said he couldn't give me a time frame for the new AOS (he did say 20 days for the IV forms to be processed).

Gah, frustrated with the NVC and this new AOS form business.

Just called them to see that they had received our IV and AOS form that we sent early last week. He said the IV application wasn't on the system yet but could be in the building and that they're working on putting the new process in place to go through these new AOS forms. Surely this should be done before putting the new form up on the site?!! He said there was no time frame he could give me for this either.

Anyone sent the new AOS off and had case complete yet? Got my heart set on leaving in late-August. Hope this is still possible!

Ooooh, "Application Error" when I try to log into the portal page, from multiple browsers. Possible good news on it's way? (I hope I hope, c'mon case complete!)



Do you mean the payment portal?
I can't give you an answer but I've heard of this being a good sign. Just hope the isn't another portal I'm not stalking! Haha.

Thanks for the reply and welcome!

I'll leave it a week then...if I can resist haha. I hate that someone else knows the process being made and its not me. It's a frustrating time now, you feel most of the waiting is over, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I just wanna run at it haha. I'll probably ring on Monday. They had our AOS this Monday and that's what seems to be taking longer atm from what I've read.
Eeeek, exciting.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2013
Bit late to the May party, I guess I'll stay on to the June one aswell haha.

HOPEHOPEHOPE we get assigned a July interview in early June.

We send our AOS package last weekend and the NVC will recieve our IV package today (over-nighted yesterday). So another wait begins!

When should I start bothering the nice people at the NVC again? Did most people leave it 2 weeks before calling for news on case complete/interview dates?

I've heard really good things about Gus at the call center and I spoke to him for the first time today! Even though my packets have not been reviewed yet, he made me feel a little better just from his attitude!


It really is surprising how much better you can feel after speaking with a nice NVC rep. Even if they can't give you any good news.
On the other hand, really hoping one of the grumpy ones don't give me good news, don't want it dampened!! Haha.

SIF (Sign-In Fail) no longer occurs for indication of case complete. It used to happen, like when I went through NVC, but it stopped shortly afterwards.


Thanks so much.
I will stop logging in now every 20 mins like a crazy person :)

To anyone who has recently had case completes: have you had log in errors on the payment portal?

Didn't know if that was something that still happened? Some people say its unreliable.

In the same boat as you guys, sent corrected AOS on June 18th. It's gotta be this week!! ??????

Totally expected the nvc process to be a swift little 2 week in and out job. Pah! Today is my 84th day at NVC.

COME ON NVC - YOU CAN DO IT.

I completely understand how you feel about NVC.  I feel like this if you can't be polite at a job that clearly deals with customers then leave. Go be a janitor or something. Its already stressful waiting to hear something and then to get yelled at for asking a simple question will make any person blood boil.


Nice to hear I'm not the only one!
I work in customer service and if I spoke to anyone the way this Tori woman spoke to me I'd fully expect to be fired. I'm getting my husband to call most of the time now, maybe they're nicer if they speak to a USC?
The reps are usually pleasant, just now and again they make you feel like you're being a neusense, but it's their job to answer our questions. And I'm not one of those ppl that call every day (let alone twice a day!).

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

Well today it has been 4 weeks from the time I asked for supervisor review. So far for 3 weeks they have said it is in the right department and is under review :( And also one week from the day I requested for expedite due to it taking so long on a paper I know for a fact they have. Kinda getting old thinking that maybe today for few weeks now... 


I requested an expedite 3 week ago and still nothing.
I've had RFE since then so I guess I'm just stuck waiting!


ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-25 10:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

I just feel the reps at nvc get grouchy when you call all the time. I haven't had any really bad experiences with them but today just annoyed me. Instead of explaining that they cannot see my case until it is on the system she practically yelled at me to just wait. I knowwww that all I can do is wait, just a little explanation would be nice. I'll call once a week.

ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-25 09:58:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013
That's it. I'm not calling NVC again. Just gonna wait for my case complete email. Just called to see if they had started looking at our corrected AOS and the rep said "you have to wait 20 business days" (fair enough), then I asked "has it been recieved or put onto your system yet?" - and she raised her voice and repeated YOU HAVE TO WAIT 20 BUSINESS DAYS MA'AM".
Grrrr. So bloody rude. Some of the reps are so great and polite. I'm just stressed and miss my hubby, don't need her attitude :(

Rant over.



ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-25 07:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013
Any idea how long it'll take for case complete after sending rfe for AOS. I've read about 2 weeks, does this sound about right?

Anyone got experience of this?


ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-19 15:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

hi can i ask question? can  i send my AOS and IV packet in one envelope? but different folder..



I have heard that people have done this with no problems.

I sent mine separately but only because one wasn't ready. Aslong as they're clearly separated by a folder or something I see no problem with it.




ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-19 07:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-19 02:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013
We recieved an email last night due to my silly hubs making a daft mistake on the AOS form (he put the household as 1 person but should have included me, making it 2!)

We sent our corrected AOS off today (they'll have it tomorrow morning) - how long will it take for us to get case complete now? Do we go back in the "20 working days" queue or is there a speedy little queue for quick little updates like ours?! Hubby said the lady at the NVC last night sounded very positive that it was a quick correction and not a big deal so he's not worried.

I just can't wait for my interview date!!




ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-18 17:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

I agree with the if you don't ask you don't get! If I might ask, what were the grounds that you requested your expedite? :) I really want one!!! Although I'm a lot less stressed now as I get to see my husband for 12 blissful days in Portugal after not seeing him for 4 months :)


Well my expedite request was mostly based around financial issues and the fact my I-864 was on hold "indefinitely". I was forced to move out of my home after my hubby moved back to the US as I couldn't keep up with the bills and I now live with my mum, her partner and my 2 brothers.
The embassy still hasn't approved my request to expedite but I don't care so much now as everything is being processed much quicker than before! I just want my interview and my husband!!

what are RFE's? this is really uplifting to read! We've been married for about 18 months and have lived together in the UK for about 18 months, so we have pretty similar cases! If we are as lucky as you we could hopefully be looking for an interview by October/November time? 
 
I'm not quite sure if the case number does or not but I feel like I read that somewhere. Do you know what your case number started with?




RFE = request for evidence. It's when they ask for more documents or a correction on a form. We just got one from nvc for writing "1" instead of "2" - frustrated is not the word!

Couldn't you file for DCF?
You could also try to request an expidite because your visa is running out? Some people say you can't request expedite unless its life or death - but I don't believe that. If you don't ask you don't get!





ChloezillaFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-06-18 07:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013
Mayb,

Our I-130 took about 2.5 months to be approved, that was with no RFE's. I have seen ppl on this forum who have taken 8 months to get approved, but ours was quite straight forward (married 18 months, lived together in UK for 12 months).

We sent it to Chicago lockbox but found out later it was actually forwarded and processed in the Baltimore field office. I wasn't aware that the case number told you where it was. Mine started the same as yours.

Thanks.

It was the new one.
Turns out the only mistake on the form was that he stated the household number as 1, when it should include me, making it 2!

He's gotta fill it in again and over night it tomorrow. Gahhh!! Hope it doesn't delay us too much. Already been on hold for a month thanks to the new version.

WHAT IN THE WORRRRLD IS THIS ABOUT?!

I copy and pasted it and under the black lines it says "you must enter your full name in this box".
Utterly confused, my husband is on hold to the NVC now. He just reviewed our I-864 and says there are no errors on these sections at all that he can see.

Hope it's a mistake!!

If it wasn't dealing with our lives this new I-184 form thing with NVC would be quite comicalranting33va.gif  I am calling everyday to be a big pain in their ####### and suggest anyone who is in the same boat to do the same also emailed my congressman liason, typical big government that doesnt know what the right hand is doing from the left, it would be so much faster if USCIS just sent the dang paper work to the embassy, one less place it could FUBAR or lost.  I am beyond peed off!!



Please let us know what your congressman says. A few people haven't had much luck with theirs at the NVC stage but I'd love to hear different :)

I am also PEED OFF. Feel like my life is on hold. I just wanna have set plans and arrangements. It's the fact they won't give us any idea of a time frame that gets me. Had enough.

We received our email NOA1 on Friday 1st February saying our application was sent to the NBC for processing.

Looking at the I-864W instructions, no that stuff doesn't seem to be needed. But, depending on how you qualify for the I-864W, you may need to send other documentation in its place.

just want to clarify it...depending on what? in our case husband is naturalized USC, petitioning for my 2 minors ages 3 & 9.
